NASCAR has indefinitely suspended driver Daniel Dye, 22, after he mocked another racer using what he described as a &#8220;gay voice&#8221; during a livestream.
The <a href="https://x.com/LostSchemes/status/2033933092109303947">video</a> that circulated on social media Tuesday shows the Kaulig Racing driver altering his voice to imitate fellow driver David Malukas.
“As soon I start doing a David Malukas gay voice I get a gold, so let’s keep it going,” Dye can be heard saying in the clip.

Malukas, a 24-year-old Team Penske driver, has frequently been pictured on social media with his girlfriend, Kamila Jurkus, and has not publicly identified as gay. 
Dye issued an apology later Tuesday, saying he chose his words “poorly” and understood why they upset people. 
“I have some close friends in the LGBTQ+ community who I would never want to feel less of themselves because of what I said,&#8221; Dye wrote. &#8220;That’s exactly why I should hold myself to a higher standard.”
Dye said he is “committed to learning from this.”

NASCAR has not provided a timeline for Dye&#8217;s reinstatement.
Brad Moran, managing director of the NASCAR Cup Series, said Dye must complete a customized program before being considered to return.
“They are all one-on-one and customized to fit every situation,” he <a href="https://www.nascar.com/videos/franchise/tuned-in/nascar-official-explains-process-for-dyes-return/">said</a> during an interview with Sirius XM. 
“Once he gets through the program, and the folks that hold and manage the program are comfortable that there were some good lessons taught, and he understands the severity of what these things can do to folks, once that happens, he gets put back in for reinstatement,” Moran added.
This is the second time Dye has been suspended.
At age 18, Dye was arrested at a Daytona Beach racing event and charged with felony battery after punching a classmate, resulting in a ruptured testicle, per <a href="https://apnews.com/article/nascar-daniel-dye-suspended-david-malukas-livestream-3e6730a5d383fa2a8d8a2368a0c71e22">Associated Press</a>.
